we have brought this to an extreme level of exquisite -- here in the united states. freedom of the press criticizes everything all the time. and we love. it's our system. wouldn't want it any other way. and so i think we can now bring that about but it requires a change in attitude and the part of government leaders to accept being criticized. we've seen some slip backward in recent times, who thought they were going to do this and realize hey, this is very uncomfortable, and have pushed back and are becoming less open to press criticism. you see it frequently, but i think that's part of the institution building. laws, institutions, free society, open society, the ability of nongovernmental institutions to function and do things that could be critical of the government, and above all freedom of the press, and resourced to courts. if you feel your rights have been violated, either commercial or in private activity. >> i completely agree with general powell has just said. i can even make two more comments. one on the constitution. let me take an example.

i worry that in the united states mobility is declining, and we often need to encourage mobility, not discourage it so i would rather have people be able to get the information they need and not have, and have it help them find employment in the united states, not in the state only of ohio. so i think those are separate questions about can we come together and think about a way to consolidate the many federal training programs? and then does the consolidation of all locked grants to states? i think those are two very different policy issues, and i don't, i think on the first one you're going to be able to get a lot of the bipartisan consensus. i think the second one will be harder. >> i would say that i think the consensus can go beyond consolidation. i was interested in this question, too, preparing for the session, and collected senator coburn's office report from 2011 here and the key recommendations were consolidation, improved performance metrics, conduct mormon records testing and target they need. does seem, those all seem like recommendations for the consensus on how to move a
